Comment (by cypherpunks):

 HTTPOS would allow better load balancing, asking for ranges in parallel.
 Is there any public source f the code/ tor patch they used to review or
 try?

 would love to check this work out that they have already done.

  i have tried "MitM" for socksport for benchmarking with proxy chained,
 asking for ranges in parallel and usually gives you better throughput. But
 this requires additional requests and latency is almost high. so only
 files above 1MB perform better but no smaller because overhead latency as
 i noticed in test scenario.

 multipath circuit to exit should also work :)
